Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.

Willis Insurance will be a British sharia financier

One of the world's oldest insurance brokers, Willis Group Holdings, will offer sharia-compliant commercial real estate coverage in Britain for the first time, helping address capacity constraints in the Islamic insurance (takaful) sector.

Set up in 1828, New York-listed Willis will offer the coverage through the Islamic insurance platform developed by London-based Cobalt Underwriting, one of several initiatives aimed at boosting London's credentials in the Islamic finance industry.

"Hand in hand with the growth in Islamic finance is the demand for sharia-compliant insurance cover, in particular for real estate investors," said John Dilley, managing director of the Willis real estate practice.

Yeah, investors who seek to build whole neighborhoods for Muslims to live in, no doubt. It's not just Tower Hamlets that could become a Muslim enclave. This program clearly is meant to increase their locations of residency as they turn the UK further into "their" territory.

I'm Avi Green

From Jerusalem, Israel

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
